So 'casagiannoni' totally deletes what I said,
and then responds to my post.
And, as always, he does not even seem to have read what I said.

That kind of seems like a jerk thing to do.

I suggest both 'casagiannoni' and 'Porcospino' read the
following, and explain their objectio0ns.

Interesting novel
The Fountains of Paradise is a science fiction novel by British
writer Arthur C. Clarke.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fountains_of_Paradise

"In the middle of The Fountains of Paradise, an unmanned
robotic spaceship of alien origin, called "Starglider"
(from an origin world dubbed "Starholme") by Clarke, passes
through the Solar system. This situation is similar to
Rendezvous with Rama, though the ship exterior and its
interactions with humans are very different."

Starglider is discussed on pages 72-, 82-, 96-
It was launched from it's home 60,000 years earlier.
They have made contact with many 'aliens' / civilizations.
We are invited to send messages to it's home civilization.
There will be a 104 year turnaround for messages.
